This Saturday will be Car Free Day. Columbia St shutdown for "live music, food trucks, site-wide liquor license, and more!"

Date: Saturday, July 29 Located: Columbia Street, New Westminster, BC Time: Noon - 8 pm

Always a lot of fun... this is what the food truck festival morphed into (which is probably a good thing because the food truck festival had grown to a ridiculous size).

...and yes the bike valet was there and we did use it :)

Wasn't the most amazing showing of food trucks - although that's probably because we attend so many events with food trucks in New West it was a case of "eaten at that one before... and that one... and that one..." ( Although I got some awesome bread pudding from the "Crack On" truck that mostly sells egg sandwiches :) )

Great event though - it's lovely not being penned-in because I want a beer. And the tables & chairs were smartly located in the natural shade along Columbia. And plenty of water stations. And the fore-mentioned bike valet. Lots of little improvements on last year... which was effectively the first running of it after the relaunch.
